Registration and League Information
Note: Since CMLA has strict playing time rules, some divisions might have a wait list for registration.
The following explains wait list and general information:
This is a competitive recreation league as the league does allow AAU and HS Feeder players. The competition of other programs we play are very skilled teams.
The league does have playing time rules where each player on game roster is required to play 50% of game before free subbing is allowed.
Minimum on a roster is 8 and maximum is 10 (unless coach/director approves going to 11 or 12 for a team)
For a division, after 10 players register, there will be a wait-list until the count gets to 18. At that point there will be 2 teams. Wait-list priority will be based on registration date/time.
Teams will only take 11 or 12 players if the Program Director and Head Coach agree to take this many as this causes issues with meeting playing time restrictions.
Published drafted teams will be final and there will be no trades based on kids wanting to be on their friends’ team.
Players from prior year are not guaranteed to be on the same team each new season.
Carpool and friend requests will be considered and noted during draft but not guaranteed in order to keep multiple teams even in a division.
All practices are at Queen of Angels, Games will be 5 home, 5 away on Saturdays.
While registering please let us know if your child plays other sports/activities in the winter that could cause conflicts with practice and games.
Playoff Tournament after 10 game seasons is for 5th-8th grade only.
NOTE: Since coaches only receive 1 practice per week and we do not want to forfeit games, we encourage all kids to not miss practice and games. (this can be discussed with coaches as well)
